Customized Spindles

Our Spindles have outstanding characteristics but what good are they if they don’t correspond to the required interface? That’s why Step-Tec engineers collaborate with you to develop the solutions adapted to your needs.

Using the latest failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) software applications as well thermal simulation and vibration analyses, we come to the table ready to support you.

Our standard risk assessment includes keeping your cost under control. Before we pursue a customized solution, we first analyze if whether one of our standard solutions—from our range of more than 100 Spindles—fits to your needs.

If it’s clear that you need a never-before-attempted solution, you can rely to our long-term experience. That’s why we can ensure that, after the first test, practically every Spindle runs according to your specifications.

Our focus:

Best fit between the Spindle and the machine’s interface

Minimum thermal influence of the Spindle on the machine

Best Spindle performance due to intense pre-analysis of thermal behavior, dynamic behavior (vibrations, resonances) and rigidity within the machine interface.

From diameters of 90 mm up to 320 mm, you can count on our staff of experienced engineers and designers.

Step-Tec gets you positioned for Industry 4.0

With the advent of Industry 4.0, real-time Spindle diagnosis becomes more and more important.

Date and time of commissioning (entries made by the machine manufacturer)

Spindle-specific data (entry done by Step-Tec)

The integrated data logger function supports the operator for application optimization during the milling process and helps to maximize Spindle/machine lifetime.

That’s why—in a very cost-sensitive environment—we continue developing extremely durable products. Thanks to the integration of the latest technologies in sensors, data management and high- efficiency motors, you can be assured that with Step-Tec you are always a step ahead.
